The All-Pro Texans defensive end tweeted out his support for USA curling on Sunday evening and soon, Matt Hamilton was there to see if he had a new fan. They already have some common ground in their Wisconsin roots, given that Watt played football for the Badgers in college and the Hamiltons hail from McFarland, Wisconsin — just a 20-minute drive from the school.

Watt indeed confirmed he is on the “HamFam” train, which earned him an invite to give curling a try the next time he’s in the Hamiltons’ neck of the woods. Watt has not yet publicly responded to the invite.

Watt might have football in his DNA, but he’s still a fan of winter sports after spending the first two decades of his life in Wisconsin. He has said in the past that hockey was his first love, but had to give it up since his family couldn’t afford it.
